  • Patent number: 11933213
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for regenerating an after-treatment system of a vehicle. A first operational parameter of a first component of the after-treatment system is monitored and a second operational parameter, different to the first operational parameter, of a second component of the after-treatment system is monitored. It is determined if the first operational parameter of the first component is outside a first threshold range and if the second operational parameter is approaching a second threshold and, in response to the first operational parameter being outside the first threshold range and the second operational parameter being within the second threshold range, a regeneration sequence of the after-treatment system configured to regenerate at least the first component of the after-treatment system is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20240083106
    Abstract: A continuous additive fabrication system comprises a bath of photopolymer resin and a light source assembly having a light source and a motorized variable aperture. The light source assembly is operable to generate a focus point in the bath of photopolymer resin, the shape of the focus point at a curing plane within the bath of photopolymer resin corresponding to the shape of the motorized variable aperture. The continuous additive fabrication system further comprises a platform configured to support a build object and a drive mechanism (coupled to at least one of the platform and the light source assembly) configured to continuously move the curing plane through the bath of photopolymer resin. A size and/or shape of the motorized variable aperture is changed while the curing plane in continuously moved through the bath of photopolymer resin.

  • Patent number: 11486799
    Abstract: Provided are installation devices and uses thereof for receiving and installing an adaptor body for sampling soil gas under a slab. The installation device includes a cylindrical body and an internal cavity. The cylindrical body has a length greater than a thickness of the slab, a first end configured to be placed adjacent a top of the slab, and a second end configured to be placed below a bottom of the slab. The internal cavity extends longitudinally through the cylindrical body from the first end to the second end, where the internal cavity has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first diameter located at the first end of the cylindrical body and the second portion has a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. The internal cavity of the cylindrical body is configured to receive the adaptor body.
